24MP, APS-C, 8fps? Good stuff for motorsport shooters! Or people who needs the extra reach but can't afford big lens (like me LOL)

Thank you for the explanation sifu
I still get quite a long focal length range when I attach the 18-105mm to the D600 right? haha
Sorry for the noob questions~

I have no idea what lens to get even if I get the D600 also

I would love to have a lens for everything (like the 18-105mm one I already have haha)

Thanks for the link, will look into it, and hopefully I will not be the noob who spent money for the "wrong" lenses

umm DX is x1.5 and FX is actual...is it saying that DX is better then FX if i use it to take picture for landscape? but for close range like food it will be blur?

spam b4 going to sleep~

DX, smaller sensor size.

- cheaper cost
- sharper DOF? i mean won't easy blur for close range....
- need more time to let light go in sensor compare to FX, but with current body high ISO performance no need worry la. only i need worry
- lesser bokeh because crop sensor.

that's why you see this video, handphone one... sharper a lot because sensor is smaller

I'm goin end of February next year.thanks for the advice.didnt realize that D5200 is coming out.might consider it if I could afford it.any roughly estimation on the cost?any idea what lense does it comes with?

seeing as D3200 body only is around rm1.7k...i assume D5200 body will be around rm2.1k.
lens if the typical 18-55, then add on roughly rm300 to that price...so rm2.4k...

i seen the D3200 with 18-105 kit, but imo its not worth the extra rm500+ over the 18-55 kit.
so even if the D5200 kit is offered with both options, the better buy is still with the 18-55.

good morning, have a nice day

different aperture, probably yes

this weekend got any events/shoots ke? or if anyone want find kaki go shoot anything come come give me a pm. i need to unwind and calm myself lol.

you don't understand it. DX or FX all has nothing to do with better pic for landscape or food or etc.

Get the fact right mate. Maybe this chart will help.

it would require us to write a very long article to explain this to you, but basically DX and FX refers to sensor size in the camera body. the difference between FX and DX is just a google away. pls google crop sensor vs full frame snsor. and u will understand straight away

Me not sifu bro~
Forgot to mention to you, if you mount DX lens on FX body, it will use CROP Mode, so yes you will get same long focal length as when you attach to DX Body, BUT... it will not have 24MP file. Crop Mode will give you about 10.5MP (which is still good enough already). For D800, Crop Mode will give around 15.4MP file.

For the lens suggestions, if depends on your budget and what you want to use the camera for.
If you're shooting a lot in low light situations and want a versatile lens, and have the budget... Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8
If not, the 24-85mm f/3.5-4 is already very good for general use... (correction: new version should be f/3.5-4.5 G)
You can get a prime lens if you need one for low light and portraits.
It really depends on the purpose you want to use the camera for and your budget.

Also note that FX will have more shallow DOF, which means, if you use large aperture, you may notice harder to get more things in focus compare to smaller sensor, and you may also keep getting many OOF if you using very large aperture and you're not used to it yet.


Not really sure what you meant.
Basically, FX is larger sensor, means the Depth of Field (DOF) is more shallow, so it's harder to get more things in focus. So if you're shooting landscape, you may experience and notice less is in focus comparing to when you're using DX.
Like Agito mentioned, if you use a digital camera or handphone camera which has small sensor, you can simply take a photo and you many things will be in focus. A handphone camera, using f/2.8, you can also see many things in focus. BUT, it also depends how you see, whether you're pixel peeping on the overall image quality or just want to get something that's in focus and viewable on screen.

@bold : there is a version with f/2.8-4D

Oops, typo, the new G should be f/3.5-4.5. Thanks for reminding~

Used to have that lens but sold if off last year. Now kinda regret already

Is a good lens. Sharp thru out the range

not quite understand , but thanks for the explaination.. i need more time to digest all this thing
